How do I update GLs or Chart of Accounts (COA) individually or in bulk?

 

Note: This feature is only for overriding the bank account associated with a GL. You should continue to use your accounting system to add GLs, deactivate GLs, and modify descriptions

To update GLs/COAs individually, please see the steps below:

  • Click on Settings in the top navigation bar
  • Select Chart of Accounts
  • Find the row which you would like to update
  • If you would like to override the current account value, select the check box under the Override column
  • Under Account column for the row you wish to update, you will now be able to select one of the three values you wish to update to
  • Once an account has been selected, it will be automatically saved
  • If an account was previously overridden and you would like to change it back to being determined based on the Operating/Reserve GL Prefix specified in your client page, simply uncheck the check box under the Override column and the next accounting synchronization will set the value automatically

To bulk update GLs/COAs, please see the steps below:

  • Click on Settings in the top navigation bar
  • Select Chart of Accounts
  • Select the GLs you would like to update using the leftmost check boxes
  • Once all the desired GLs are selected, scroll to the bottom of the screen and select Bulk Update
  • Once Bulk Update has been clicked, a popup will appear which will warn you of the number of accounts you will be potentially updating. Under the warning, you will see a drop-down for whether to set the override value to Yes or No
  • If you wish to use the Operating/Reserve GL Prefix specified in your client page, please select No. If you wish to override the current accounts with a new one that you will specify, select Yes
  • If you selected Yes, you will now see a new drop-down that will allow you to select a new account which will be used to override the current account values 
  • Once finished, You can now click on the Done button to update all selected rows
